SERENA’S PICKS OF THE PILE:
OZMA OF OZ #6

By: Eric Shanower and Skottie Young

When Ozma asks the Nome King to release the Royal Family of Ev, he proposes a guessing game that seems easy enough to win. Ozma and her followers agree to play.
But as the Oz people begin to disappear, Dorothy realizes that the Nome King has stacked the deck against them. She and her friends have little hope of escaping the Nome King’s sinister underground palace.

Loved by both critics and fans, Ozma of Oz triumphs as another wonderful Frank L. Baum adaptation!
